A harvest festival celebration. In his novel Under the Greenwood Tree
Thomas Hardy describes his grandfather's long-lost world of rustic orchestras that played in galleries in the west end of churches. By the 1870s they were gone, ousted by a new breed of Victorian high churchmen who demolished their galleries and burned their music. So what were they like?
With the help of today's Christians of the Puddletown and Abbotsbury areas of Dorset, Debbie Thrower goes back to 1840 to see how a bumper harvest was celebrated. Hymns: Come, Ye Thankful People Come (St George); 0 Come, Loud Anthems Let Us Sing; Come Thou
Conqueror of the Nations (Calcutta); Psalm 47 (Old Foster); Behold the Morning Star Arise; The Last Full Wain Has Come (Creation).
Producer Christopher Mann Editor Roger Hutchings

A SCREEN ONE: SWEET NOTHING This remarkable love story set against a background of urban homelessness stars Lee Ross, who appeared in the widely acclaimed Amongst Barbarians, and Charlotte Coleman from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Abandoned schoolboy Phil (Ross, above left, with Coleman, Victor Maddern, Joan Heal, and front, Emma Daniel) follows streetwise Ros (Coleman) into a fantastic township created by London's homeless, where they find the care missing from their lives. Coleman praises the way this often misrepresented topic has been handled. 'Young homeless people are not a different species,' she says, 'Many of them retain their dignity.' 9.20pm BBC

So Many Wrongs. For over a decade Edward Daly , the Bishop of Londonderry, has campaigned for the release of the Birmingham Six, convinced they are innocent men. For Bishop Daly , that case is just part of a whole cycle of injustice, IRA as well as British, which has scarred his world. This film is a deeply personal record of that experience: the friends who have been killed, the bombs, the knee-cappings and the cover-ups. Producer Stephen Walker Editor Jane Drabble
